ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. If patrons are seeking thrills and looking foiS high power drama, they should see and hear "Acquitted," an engrossing disclosure of New York's underworld tactics, showing finally tonight. It is an underworld drama with a theme of intense dramatic power, brilliant in dialogue and gripping in suspense. It tells of a girl of the underworld, reformed through love, who matches her wits against the stratagem of super-crooks and emerges the winner, thus saving her beloved, and helping justice triumph. A powerful drama of the underworld in which a girl dares all for the sake of the man she loves. The supporting films are very good. "THE RADIOS." Something new and novel in entertainment will be presented at His Majesty's Theatre next Wednesday night. This production, assembled by Mr Frank Moran, inaugurates the first tour of this combination in these parts. The company includes some clever artists, and their programme will include operatic numbers, comedy skits, general melody, dancing, with elaborate costumes and. neat settings. Each of the company has a reputation for good work on the stage, a,nd has been specially selected for the present tour. The Radios' patrons may confidently anticipate a clever show, in which their highest optimism should be justified. The Radios will play here for two nights, and seats may be reserved at the Bristol without extra charge.

REVUE INTERNATIONAL.

Ashburton people will have an opportunity of seeing a clever entertainment on Saturday (August 23). Miss Montgomery has organised a show on the lines of an "International Revue." Patrons will be entertained by songs and dances from many nations. The company comprises over 30 artists who represent the very best that can be found in Cliristchurch. The singers include Millicent Jennings, Bella Reliant, Lottie Colville, Rudrey Cotterill, Bernard Renelle and Charles Ashford. There will be eight dancing scenes, leading patrons round the world to the _ following countries: Russia, America, France, Persia, Spain and even beyond the world to the "land of make-believe." A big house is expected, as patrons will not only have this chance of seeing a really good show, but will be helping the Ashburton Plunket Society, which will benefit by the entire proceeds of this production.
